Does it matter which type of heater core I use? There's a different one for every make/year of car on the road! The biggest issues (I suppose) are the dimensions of the core, the fittings they use, and the price. Apart from that, are most cores basically the same? Would a core from a performance car work better than a core from a nova?

Someone posted a link in another thread... http://www.heatercore4u.com ... but their site is a bit cumbersome, their prices are high (compared to http://www.autozone.com for instance, and it would take years

to compare of the cores to find the perfect fit. Has anyone already done this research???

ps... I'd like to have 5/8" fittings
